with the business the amount of type
c0mp0Sitor can set in night seems
almost incredible. A printer will. how
ever, set more some nights than others.
Saturday night on the GLOBE is always
good picking" The hours of work are
pretty long, but the results are salts
factory to the men. As a sample the
night of March 26 is cited. Thirty
seven c0mpoSitOrS set up 610,200 ems of
type, an average to each man of 1S 100
ems. OF course, this was Il great deal
better than the ordinary night, however.
There were large number advertise
mentS, and, the number of men being
small, the bonuses, or ''phat, were more
numerous. But the average is remark
able large, and it is doubtful if the
record has been exceeded very often i'll
any Office in the country. The men
were setting type from 3 to 5 in the aft
ernOOn, and from in the evening until
4 in the morning. Two men set $4,000
each; men from $4,000 to 10000 each,
and ) men-On straight matter mo dis
play)-gOt strings of 10000 ems. The
setting of 10000 ems would necessitate
the picking up Of about $4,000 to 10000
types Of the various thickncSSeS, it re-

GLOBE office
HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED
since 1878, when the paper was started
with 10 to II compOsit0rS. In 1880 there
were 20; in 1884 the number reached %,
and during 1887 they have increased to
81. With this issue the number
jumps to 20 regulars. With the extras
the grand total will be 80, which is
equal to any newspaper Office in the
Northwest. The GLOBE continues to
grow in every department.
The chapel is an institution essen
tial to the proper conduct Of the com
posing room of a daily newspaper. 1t is
the arbitrator of all disputes and misun-
derstandingS, and the father of the
chapel'' is really an umpire. 1t does not
follow that he is an old man. though,
because he is called the father. The
youngest man in the Office may serve in
the position. Where so many men are
engaged it would be impossible for bus

is not because of a desire to loaf" OF

imperative to give their physical pow

necessity. Subs can easily average

is useally all they want. a. faithful

have a peculiar way of working. They
will put in Stretches as il is called

Office again for three or four days. prob
ably q week or two weeks. They have
their vacations, just as we'll as Other
people. Printers generally put in
